Acta Chir Iugosl. 2014;61(1):107-11.

Abstract

Laparoscopic interventions are at the very beginning of its evolution in the Clinic of Urology. The first steps have been made primarily to cope with problem of varicocele. We continued to gain laparoscopic experience by switching to solving some demanding intervention, primarily kidney cyst. The only logical next step lead to laparoscopic renal surgery. So, after a few successful primary simple nephrectomy, the next step was to perform a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Today, at the Clinic of Urology, Clinical Center of Serbia we successfully perform much more demanding interventions, such as extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. In this paper we present our experience with the first laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, which was done at the Clinic of Urology, Clinical Center of Serbia.
